Hi wondering if someone knows of a quick and easy way to offset a BAM alignment by N nucleotiodes towards the center of a fragment? Thank you.

I guess it depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you're trying to generate sharper coverage tracks then you can use bamCoverage from deepTools with either the --MNase or --centerReads options. Those both operate on fragments. -
Transposase
I am trying to account for the binding of Transposase by offsetting the read alignments on the +/- strands.

Provided you're happy with a bigWig file then either of the options I presented will work. Otherwise you might have to script something using pysam in python.Comment

I guess bamCoverage does not give the option to offset reads by specific numbers of bases given the binding event of specific enzymes?Comment

The current release doesn't offer this. However I happen to have a test branch that can do this (feature/riboseq_352). This was initially written with RiboSeq in mind, so there's a "--RiboSeq X" that will then use the Xth base from the 5' end of the read. I could change this to allow negative values, which would then support things like GROseq and PROseq. This is all in development, but it'll likely give reasonable results.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...Today, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
